Does anyone read this blog?

No one posts comments – which makes me think that no one reads it.  Maybe I’ll stop posting pictures of Abi if there are no readers.

(Note: this blog will be saved for Abi to read when she is older – so please, please post comments for her.  She will really enjoy reading them.)

So impressed with Apple

Mommy has an iPhone.  About three weeks ago, she started having problems with it, and so Abi went with Mommy & Daddy to have it fixed at the Apple store.  (Hey, I had to tie this post to Abi somehow.)  Anyhow, the tech support person told Mommy that there were hardware problems with her iPhone and that she needed to get a new one.  So Mommy paid about $200 and go a new iPhone.  Well, the problems did not go away . . . in fact, they potentially got more serious.  So, the next weekend, Abi went with Mommy & Daddy back to the store.  They were told that the operating system had bugs in it, and that downloading the new version would solve these problems.  Mommy then asked why she was told to buy a new iPhone the week before, since it had the same problems, and could hav been fixed by downloading the updated software.   Well, folks, guess what happened next?  Based on Mommy’s experience at other stores, she would have expected the tech support person to get defensive, to mumble some techno-speek about hardware problems . . . but no.  The tech support person went to get his manager who refunded Mommy’s $200 and let her keep the new iPhone too.  This company understands good customer service & brand loyalty.

Abi is a geek

Daddy takes a weekly Saturday class with Abi.  He pointed out that while other kids crawl to explore or to get to to other babies (to take their toys), Abi is different.  She is much more directed in her crawling (or standing up.)  She generally only crawls to reach a particular target (e.g., a favored toy. an iPhone, a tv remote, a keyboard, a computer wire, measuring spoons). She even uses her xylophone as a stepstool to get to Daddy’s computer equipment.   So there you have it folks, my baby is self-directed, in a geeky (techie) way.

In other news, Mommy noticed tha she seems much more interested in interacting with adults than babies in her classes.  Does this make Abi mature – or just a geeky teacher’s pet?

Finally, Abi has been having a blast playing with everyday objects (measuring spoons, Mommy’s running hat, tissues . . .) she seems to enjoy these more than her own toys . . .
